The main application field of the 1N5376BE3/TR8 Zener diode is for power supply regulation, as it able to clamp a voltage overshoot up to 6.2V and to limit the power flow at the same time. This type of diode can also be used in voltage references, temperature compensation circuitry, protection circuitry, and waveform shaping. Some of the typical uses include in DC-DC converters and switching power supplies, voltage regulation in linear power supplies, and LED lighting.

The working principle of a Zener diode relies on its reverse breakdown voltage caused by an electric field. When a Zener diode is connected in reverse bias, the electric field created across the P-N junction causes electrons to move from the N-type material to the P-type material. This voltage transfer causes the diode to breakdown, allowing a current to pass through it. The breakdown voltage and corresponding current are controlled by compromising between the thickness of the depletion layer and the amount of doping in each layer of the P-N junction.

The 1N5376BE3/TR8 Zener diode is designed for use in applications where both reverse breakdown voltage and power handling capability are important. It is capable of withstanding peaks currents up to 9A, and is used in circuits to regulate voltage, reduce voltage drop, and improve system reliability.
